In lovingkindness Jesus came My soul in mercy to reclaim And from the depths of sin and shame Through grace He lifted me
From sinking sand He lifted me With tender hand He lifted me From shades of night to plains of light O praise His Name, He lifted me!
He called me long before I heard Before my sinful heart was stirred But when I took Him at His word Forgiv’n, He lifted me

His brow was pierced with many a thorn His hands by cruel nails were torn When from my guilt and grief, forlorn In love He lifted me
Now on a higher plane I dwell And with my soul I know ’tis well Yet how or why I cannot tell He should have lifted me
